    Summary

    It's one of the first things Charles notices about Edwin: he doesn't have a daemon.

    While Anita curls around him, protective with teeth bared despite the freezing water drenching her fur, Edwin stands alone.

    Charles hadn't thought it was possible to lose your daemon and stay sane, but he also hadn't thought that ghosts were real, so he just sort of accepts it and moves on.

    When he finally does gather the courage to ask Edwin about it weeks later, Edwin goes awfully still, a wild, panicked look crossing his eyes for just long enough to make Charles regret saying anything.

    Eventually, Edwin does respond, voice low and rough.

    "Hell is designed to tear souls apart, Charles," he says, not meeting Charles' eyes. "I'm sure you can deduce the rest."

    Or what happens to a daemon in Hell and how one might find friendship, love, and peace in the aftermath

    Summary

    “Were you like Brad and Hunter, when you were alive?” Niko asked dubiously.

    Charles stilled. “Well—maybe. I think I was always a little bit different from other guys, to be honest,” he said, like he was confessing something. “My old mates were definitely cut from the same cloth, though.”

    “Oh,” Niko realized. “Is that why you want them to be good guys? They remind you of your friends?”

    “Er…” Charles trailed off. He squished the ball of PlayDoh in his hands. Gray showed between his fingers. “Not exactly. My old mates weren’t, ah. Well. They weren’t good guys, in the end. I mean, Brad and Hunter do remind me of them. A lot, actually. But it’s more like, it would be really nice to know that guys like James or Pete could be nice.” He contemplated the dough in his hands with a small frown. “I just wonder, if those guys had been born a little later, maybe they would have turned out better? Maybe we might have been alright.”

    Niko followed his gaze. Charles seemed to be getting PlayDoh residue on his fingers. They were turning gray, now, too.

    “Were your friends nice to you?” Niko asked, suddenly worried.

    Charles met her eyes, but he had a faraway look on his face. “Sometimes,” he said.
